Alternatively, if the quantity (n) at angle is odd number, angle and the side setting-out towards angle are passed through.Assuming that the quantity of line For " k ", setting-out is untill the quantity (k) of line is 3 or 2.Then, the point that line intersects each other is used as the center in plane hole.
For example, Fig. 7 is the view for showing to determine the center F in Fig. 6 first surface hole 110 mode, wherein, the number of fillet Amount is 4 (even numbers) altogether.Therefore, when another on the direction at another angle from a central point of curvature to being positioned at When individual angle setting-out b1 and b2, the quantity (K) of line is two, and center F of the point as first surface hole that two lines are intersecting.
In addition, the center E in second surface hole 130 is determined in an identical manner, and unit hole is implemented so that center E Mismatched each other with F.Especially, as shown in Figure 6, between the center F in first surface hole and the center E in second surface hole away from From at least the 90% of the length A for the diameter that d can be realized as second surface hole, i.e. 0.9A.
In addition, the center F in first surface hole can be realized in this scope with the distance between the center E in second surface hole d It is interior:Preferably the 50% or smaller of the length A of the diameter in second surface hole, more preferably 0.1%~10% scope, 0.2% ~8% scope or 0.2% or 5% scope.When the mismatch degree of the distance between central axis is realized as second The length A of the diameter of surface holes at least 90% when, can further improve the uniformity of deposition efficiency.
In other words, when the length A of the diameter in second surface hole is 125 μm, the center (F) and second in first surface hole The distance between the center (E) of surface holes (d) can be realized as at least 112.5 μm.
As described above, using deposition mask depositing operation in, due to all unit holes of sedimentary origin and mask not by It is arranged on the bottom of vertical direction.Therefore, angle and bottom level more than special angle are needed to carry for each unit hole Height is used for OLED deposition uniformity.
In this case, when using deposition mask according to the embodiment of the present invention, first surface hole and second Surface holes are arranged to be mismatched each other, thus improves deposition efficiency.Further, since arrangement, it is possible to reduce performing Dead band during depositing operation, and can also be obtained in depositing operation by increasing deposit thickness or the thick material of coating Higher utilization rate.When depositing bigger area by OLED depositing devices, tensile force may increase.In this case, When the position using first surface hole second embodiment of the invention and the position in second surface hole that During this unmatched unit sectional hole patterns, tensile force is equally distributed.Thereby it can be assured that OLED deposition uniformity.
